Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Out-of-bounds Read: The BSON decoder is vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Reads if buffer index tracking is updated before binary data extraction, leading to potential crashes or memory exposure when parsing maliciously crafted BSON objects.
Injection: Allowing null bytes in cstring element names enables BSON injection attacks, which can corrupt document structures and allow attackers to inject arbitrary fields into downstream databases.
